Emulator for Pico-8: Picpic

Play the Fantasy Console ROMs

Features & Capabilities

The First Pico-8 Emulator on the App Store!

PicPic brings the charming world of Pico-8 games to your iPhone, letting you play thousands of tiny, handcrafted games natively on iOS.

What is Pico-8? Pico-8 is a fantasy console, a creative platform with deliberate constraints that inspire developers to build small, expressive games in 128x128 pixels with a 16-color palette. The result is a massive library of free, community-made games spanning every genre.

Features: • Native Emulation – Play .p8 and .p8.png cartridges at full speed with audio. • Import Cartridges – Load games from Files, Safari, or import entire folders at once. • Touch Controls – On-screen D-pad or 360° analog joystick, designed for mobile play. • Multicart Games - Play larger adventures that span multiple cartridges. • Local Multiplayer - Share the fun with multi-controller support on cartridges built for more than one player. • Mouse & Touch Games – Play cartridges that use Pico-8's mouse/pointer input natively. • Save States – Save anytime and optionally enable autosave. • Game Library – Organize, add to favorites, search, and manage your cartridge collection. • Customizable Layout – Reposition and resize controls with the interactive editor. • Retro Aesthetic – Authentic 128×128 pixel display with the classic Pico-8 palette and optional filter. • Controller Support – Play with your favorite gamepad. • Keyboard Support – Full keyboard input on Mac and iPad. • Mac Support – Also runs natively on Mac M-Series. • Landscape Mode – Play in landscape or portrait at any time. • Haptic Feedback – Tactile response on every button press. • Personalization – Custom app icons and console color themes, including OLED Black. • Starter Games – A few great games included so you can play right away. • Optimized for iPad – Adaptive layouts for all screen sizes. • No Ads – Clean, uninterrupted play.

How It Works: Import Pico-8 cartridge files into your library. PicPic runs games natively: no web views, no streaming, no internet required.

Downloaded a pico 8 game, and can play it natively on my phone! It’ll be cool to use this with games I make myself!

I see the potential, but all of the PICO-8 games I tried to play crashed and booted me to a “FAKE-8” console screen.
